Bite into these stuffed mozzarella biscuit balls and you'll get a buttery, crispy outside and stretchy cheese inside. They work great as snacks or finger food for any get-together. They’re super simple to toss together and pretty much everyone will dig in.

Reasons You'll Crave These Bombs

Grab a batch of these mozzarella bombs for pure comfort! Here’s what you get:

  • That melty cheese heart wrapped in a golden crust.
  • Easy to switch up the insides and go with different tastes.
  • They go from fridge to table fast, so they’re great for parties, lazy days, or a family munch fest.

Must-Have Ingredients Explained Simply

  • Biscuit Layer:
    • One 16.3 oz tube (8 count) of buttermilk biscuit dough
    • Keep at 40°F (4°C) while handling
    • Pat each out so it's 2.5 inches wide before flattening
  • Cheesy Inside:
    • Fresh mozzarella — get 8 oz (226g) and chop into chunky 1-inch cubes (around 24g each)
    • You want moisture between 45 and 52%
    • Cheese should also be cold — aim for 40°F (4°C) when filling
  • Garlic Butter Finish:
    • 4 tablespoons (57g) of unsalted butter, melted and hot (165°F/74°C)
    • 2 garlic cloves (10g), chopped super fine, about as tiny as rice grains
    • ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) fine sea salt
  • Herb Extras (Optional):
    • Chopped fresh parsley — 2 tablespoons (8g)
    • Dried oregano — rub 1 teaspoon (1g) between your fingers to wake up the flavors

How To Pull It All Together

Getting Ready
Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C). Check the temp is spot on with a thermometer. Put your baking rack in the middle and line a sheet with some parchment paper. Try to keep the kitchen around 68 to 72°F (20-22°C) and less than 60% humidity.
Flattening Dough
Lightly dust your counter with flour. Squash the biscuits out till they’re only 1/8-inch thick and about 4 inches wide. Keep an eye so the dough never gets warmer than 50°F (10°C).
Stuffing & Sealing
Drop a cube of mozzarella right in the middle of each round. Gather the sides up over the cheese and pinch to shut it tight. Roll each into a ball between your hands until no holes show. Finished balls should be right about 2 inches across.
Coating With Butter
Mix the hot melted butter (165°F/74°C) with your minced garlic. Let it cool down to 110°F (43°C). Smother each bomb with the butter so every inch is glossy.
Into The Oven
Line ‘em up at least 2 inches apart. Let them bake 12-15 minutes. You’re looking for a deep gold top (Pantone 7509 C) and 165°F (74°C) inside.
Finishing Touches
Pull them when you see cheese leaking at the seams. Wait 3-5 minutes for the inside to drop to 145-150°F (63-66°C). Sprinkle with herbs if you want before serving.

Tasty Ways To Serve

Take your mozzarella biscuit balls up a notch:

  • Saucy Dips: Dip into ranch, garlic mayo, or classic marinara for big flavor.
  • Pretty Plating: Stack them on a tray and scatter parsley on top for a pop of green.
  • Good Pairings: Sip on sparkling water or a light red wine for a full-on cozy vibe.

Fun Twists & Smart Pointers

Switch things up or make sure every batch’s a win:

  • Toss in some mushrooms, pepperoni, or spinach before sealing to change up the flavors.
  • Dairy-free or gluten-free swaps totally work here—just pick your favorite brands.
  • Really pinch those seams or the cheese will spill while baking.

Recipe FAQs

→ Can I make these biscuit bombs ahead of time?

Totally! Prep them up to a whole day before and keep covered in the fridge. If you bake them from cold, tack on a couple extra minutes in the oven.

→ What's the best way to reheat leftover biscuit bombs?

Toss them back in the oven at 350°F for about 5 to 7 minutes. The microwave is quicker but won't give you that crunch. Don't go too long or the cheese gets weird.

→ Can I use different types of cheese?

No problem! Try cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack—just pick something that melts well and cut it to fit inside the biscuit ball.

→ Why did my cheese leak out during baking?

That usually means the dough wasn't sealed up tight. Really pinch those edges together and roll the ball in your hands so there aren't any openings or thin parts.

→ Can I freeze these biscuit bombs?

Yep! Freeze formed, unbaked bombs on a tray, then pile into bags for up to 3 months. When you're ready, bake straight from the freezer and just give a few more minutes in the oven.

Step 03

Drop a mozzarella chunk into the center of each pressed biscuit.

Step 07

  2. Spread on more butter right out of the oven for even more flavor.
